…………………………………….
Ah, holding a walkie-talkie in hand,
the man in khaki is watching us!
In the little time we have left,
don't act fussy, just sing, boys!
Get up and dance, boys!
Lelle lelle lelle lelle lelle
Lelle lelle lelle lelle leththu
Is that so? Should I chant something out now?
Ah, labukku labukku labaai labukku
Labaai labukku palaasa palaasa palaasa
Ah, didn't understand a single thing, buddy!
Ah, then sing something people can understand!
Milk a dancing cow by swaying along,
and milk a singing cow by singing along!
Hey short eggplant, strike that beat!
Can't handle your mischief, man!
Ah, drop the swagger, is it really that big a deal?
Friend, our love has to win!
We were all alone, but we joined as a team,
now we can help out like the little squirrel!
Life is impossible without friends, huh!
{Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak
Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak} (2)
Hey, listen to our Madras beat, man!
Hey, take this...
Ngoyyalo ngoyyalo
Just because he fell in love at first sight,
isn't our friendship what matters now?
As we put on the khaki uniform, our bond grows,
for friendship, we must join our hands!
Has anyone ever measured the span of life?
Hey, has anyone ever measured the depth of friendship?
Did God create us,
so that we would unite here like this?
Things we never share with family,
we can talk about freely together!
{Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak
Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak} (2)
Hey, do you want to hear the Thanjavur beat?
I'm yelling it out, so turn it up and play hard!
Ah ah ah, hit it, hit it, that's the one!
Dommeellu dommeellu
If you go beyond bravery and win here,
just thinking of that girl brings victories!
There's no need to show off courage anymore,
and if love comes your way, let it come, buddy!
Friend, caught in the net of love,
will you make it into the police force?
When you get married and your wife arrives,
will you even think about us?
We lived through many days in just one day,
and this is more than enough, man!
{Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak
Jingchaak jingchaak jingchaak chaak chaak} (2)
